Brain Research Bulletin, 2019 P2Y receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for extracellular nucleotides. There are eight mammalian P2Y receptor subtypes divided into two subgroups (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, and P2Y11) and (P2Y12, P2Y13, and P2Y14). The P2Y receptors are expressed in various cell types and play important roles in physiology and pathophysiology including ...

Respiratory Research, 2005 Background Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
, 2007 Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

Quantitative Super-Resolution Imaging for the Analysis of GPCR Oligomerization
Biomolecules, 2021 G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to form homo- and hetero- oligomers which are considered critical to modulate their function. However, studying the existence and functional implication of these complexes is not straightforward as ...

Glia, EarlyView.Trpm2 partial and complete knockout reduce neuroinflammation in male and female mice. Microglial morphological changes are not found in Trpm2 knockout 6‐OHDA‐induced mice. TRPM2 is involved in microglial phagocytosis and IL1β, IL6, and iNOS expression. ABSTRACT Inflammation, and particularly microglial cells, has become a central feature in Parkinson's

P2Y₂ Nucleotide Receptors Expressed Heterologously in Sympathetic Neurons Inhibit Both N-Type Ca²⁺ and M-Type K⁺ Currents [PDF]
, 1998 The P2Y₂ receptor is a uridine/adenosine triphosphate (UTP/ATP)-sensitive G-protein-linked nucleotide receptor that previously has been reported to stimulate the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Pyridoxal-6-arylazo-5'-phosphate and Phosphonate Derivatives as P2 Receptor Antagonists. [PDF]
, 1998 Novel analogs of the P2 receptor antagonist pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-6-phenylazo-2',4'-disulfonate (PPADS) were synthesized. Modifications were made through functional group substitution on the sulfophenyl ring and at the phosphate moiety through the ...

Building Immunocompetent Cerebral Organoids From a Developmental Perspective
Glia, EarlyView.Conventional cerebral organoids do not contain microglia, which must be added. We propose recommendations to assess microglial immunocompetence using quantitative approaches and stringent statistical analysis to help develop standardized protocols. ABSTRACT Cerebral organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are increasingly ...

Long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling: purinoceptors control cell proliferation, differentiation and death [PDF]
, 2010 The purinergic signalling system, which uses purines and pyrimidines as chemical transmitters, and purinoceptors as effectors, is deeply rooted in evolution and development and is a pivotal factor in cell communication.
